A very Happy Thanksgiving to all. We’re immensely grateful for all our incredible guests, staff, and supporters who make what we do possible. Gobble gobble.

Bucks like this are more commonly sighted in the fall as mating season comes upon us. Our 600-acre preserve provides plenty of space for deer to be deer.

Blue Heron Fishing
The spring fed wooded ravines of Prairiewood’s preserve teeming with the sights and sounds of clear water making its way down into Wildcat Creek - and beckoning this visitor today, along its way:
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers who nourish, heal, embrace, cleanse, and offer an indelible sense of security and belonging. Like water, what you offer transforms and restores, over and over … and the world would be less without you. Much less.

The after-flow of much needed substantial spring rains have the spring-fed streams of Prairiewood’s Preserve teeming with soothing sounds as they pass through the raparian forest in route to Wildcat Creek. Peace from the prairie — volume up!
